For your interest, I have now added watercolours and silhouettes to my range as you will see below. I feel it is time to broaden the options offered to suit all tastes.
This year, I am collaborating with two other artists to provide some inspirational romantic gifts. The idea is to offer a choice of personalised anniversary presents and other unique gifts to suit a variety of both styles and budgets.

 

Maybe you have a special poem that means a lot to you. This silver frame encloses a 3d heart hanging in front of a collage of a memorable poem "Let me count the ways".

I can work with you designing an artwork which best cases your favourite item or memory.

Just email me or phone me to discuss.

Prices from £65.00.

 

Watercolour Painting by 'Lyndsay' - Prices from £95.00

Lyndsay is a known watercolour artist who regularly exhibits in London and is swiftly making a name for herself.  Her style is fun and full of life. The two pictures above were designed to form a watercolour collage of several events during the year to create a lovely present. The collages depict a number of trips ands events over the previous year. If you like, the wedding could be part of a collage of images that form a larger picture. This may include the bouquet, church or reception venue, the cake and other items.

Her water colour work hangs in galleries and has been commissioned by individual patrons as well as a number of top interior designers sourcing works of art for their clients. She has recently created an illustrated children's books which is being launched on September 14th this year.  She has recently created an illustrated children’s book which was published in September 2007.  For details, click >>The Rainbow Weaver


Romantic by nature, Lyndsay was inspired by the notion of a truly original first anniversary memento and has come up with some lovely ideas and agreed to work at competitive prices to offer these stunning presents.  Normally her water colour work would command significantly higher prices but by cutting out agent & gallery costs we are able to bring you a fantastic offer. 'Lyndsay' has kindly agreed to sign each original in her normal fashion.

 

 

Email us a photograph of a scene or a portrait and 'Lyndsay' will paint a watercolour to capture the moment forever.
Here are a range of successful commissions through Driftwood Dreams. Honeymoons and weddings were drawn from photos taken in the Bahamas, Jamaica, Maldives and  Whitby.


To see a fairy wedding please visit the >>Weddings page.

Lyndsay can paint a lovely watercolour of the venue of the wedding. This would make a beautiful wedding present. This picture was of Tynley hall.

Lyndsay enjoys coming up with a design to capture your happiest moments together. Lyndsay works fast and can turn around a watercolour commission for you in a short time span.


 

romantic anniversary present

A watercolour bouquet can be a lovely romantic gift painted with 3d textured words to give a romantic message. As the paintings are on paper, this would be an ideal gift for a paper or first anniversary present...or for than matter, any anniversary. Paintings come with a mount but not framed for ease of postage.
Paintings from £75.00 plus delivery.

Another idea is to ask 'Lyndsay' to paint a picture composed of items that mean something special to you. Email us and give us your thoughts. We are always happy to help you with some inspiration.
